To me this line seems quite "inspired" by Chanel's Cocoon collection: lightweight, oversized quilted lambskin in "pillow" shapes, and for that reason I don't like it at all.

The Delices line itself I don't particularly like either as to me it's derivative of Prada's matelasse bags.And the flap bag shape with this type of turn-lock is also Chanel-esque. I wish that they would just stop making flap bags.
If they really wanted to use this pillow lambskin, they should just revisit the Dior Delices line and make a variation with pillow quilting. This may, in turn, help sell some of the other Dior Delices bags that have dropped out of attention recently because they are no longer advertised.

I find the gauffre exceedingly similar:I thought that at first. But the gauffre pattern is done differently. The Prada is pleated much more (and in a more uniform fashion). I really like how the randomness of the gauffre on the Dior is juxtaposed with a geometric Cannage embroidery.

Without the Cannage stitching I'd be hard-pressed to differentiate one brand from the other, and just tacking on a Cannage pattern is not a mark of creativity imho.
